In a shocking display of
compromised integrity, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) has thrown away the
last vestiges of judicial impartiality by hosting the Prime Minister at his
home for a Ganpati Pooja. What might seem like a simple religious celebration
is, in fact, a blatant symbol of the cozy relationship between the judiciary
and the executive—an alarming erosion of the boundaries that are supposed to
keep the government’s three branches independent and accountable.
Let’s be clear: the people in
this picture, smiling and engaging in rituals, are the embodiment of
corruption. And yes, that now includes the CJI. By allowing the Prime
Minister—who has been repeatedly accused of corruption, not just by political
opponents but by international watchdogs and global media—to participate in
this intimate event, the CJI has shattered any illusion of fairness and justice
in his court.
The judiciary is supposed to be
the last bastion of democracy, a place where the law is applied without fear or
favor. Yet, when the head of this institution fraternizes with the very person
whose actions are under scrutiny, how can we trust that justice will be served?
How can the people of India believe that their Chief Justice is applying the
law as it is meant to be, without bias, when he is socializing with a leader
accused of being the most corrupt in the world?
This isn't just about
appearances. The integrity of the judiciary is foundational to the rule of law.
When the CJI entertains the Prime Minister, who has faced numerous allegations
of corruption, at his own home, it is more than just poor judgment—it’s an
outright betrayal of the trust that the people of India have placed in him. It
explains why the judiciary has been slow to act on many of the complaints
brought by the opposition. It sheds light on the inexplicable delays and the
seemingly biased rulings that have left many questioning the court’s
impartiality. The dots connect all too well: the CJI is compromised, and so too
is the institution he represents.
Just yesterday, there may have
been a sliver of respect left for the CJI, a hope that perhaps he was still
upholding the law and delivering justice without fear or favor. But today, that
hope is dead. The CJI has shown his true colors, and they are tainted by the
same corruption that stains the Prime Minister he has chosen to entertain.
The people of India should be
outraged. They should demand accountability, not just from their politicians,
but from those who are supposed to be their protectors in the judiciary. The
CJI has proven that he is no longer fit to serve as the head of India’s highest
court. He has compromised his position and, in doing so, has compromised the
very foundation of Indian democracy. The people must demand his immediate
removal, for the sake of justice, for the sake of the nation, and for the sake
of a judiciary that is supposed to stand above politics and corruption.
It is shameful . But we all deserve this because we could not think critically.
ReplyDeleteAjay Gangawar .This is how we could he protect our constitution.It is shameful but we all deserve it because we could never think critically on any point which affects our lives.
DeleteThis issue is very serious and for the CJI to have PM in his house doing pooja has destroyed the confidence in his ability to be just. This appearance makes him look compromised, a serious damage to the Republic of India. People have to be blind to ignore this act of the CJI and the PM and still allow the CJI to stay in power as the top justice of India, which means you do not understand the governance and responsibilities of the officials. It is so sad to see this and it angered me to my core.
